wheels" Tells Why n Certain Ordinance
Should Not be Repealed.
To the Editor Of The Register.
SIR:-There is a matter to come before
Council at its next meeting in which a large
number of our citizens are interested. We
refer to an ordinance which is intended to
repeal the ordinance requiring owners of
wagons attending the markets 10 have the
poles and shafts removed while their wag-
Ons are standing at the market houses,
during market hours. DIR. Ulrich, Of the
First Branch, was the author of the ordi-
nance now in force and deserves the thanks
of every citizen who has been compelled in
time past to drive o horse and VEHICLE along
either the upper or lower market spaces
during market hours. Our citizens are
now realizing how much more readily they
can pass those squares and nearly all per
sOns attending the markets are ~reconciled
to abide by the provisions Of the ordinance.
The only 'kickers' are the butchers, and
they claim that fifteen or twenty minutes
of their valuable time will be consumed in
taking out their wagon poles, and in win
ter time their hands will be chilled in do
ing this little job. Grant it; how much of
the time of hundreds of our citizens has
been consumed in trying to work past the
markets. Many of them carriers and team
sters, whose livelihood depends on the
number of loads hauled in a day. Have
they not also suffered from the cold?
A large number of the butchers are not
residents OF the city, and the number
of those who are form a very small crowd
when compared to the large number OF our
citizens and taxpayers who are interested
in keeping the present ordinance in force.
The repeating ordinance is c~hampioned
by members of Council who are aspirants
for various offices in the future, and it
would be we'll for them to ascertain how
many of the men, whose work they are do
ing, are voters in the city. We cannot as
sert that all of US, who will be inconven-
fenced by a return tO'the old state of affairs,
viii rseollect how they vote on the repeal
ing ordinance, but we feel safe in saying
that twice a many Of, US as there are
butchers in market will try to reeollect it.
Will you, Mr.. Editor, oblige us by pub
fishing in your Council report a list Of the
members voting for and against the repeal
ing ordinance. 1t will be 8 good thing to
keep. WHEELS.

A FIN PLAY
"Beacon Lights" at tho Opera House, Last
Evoning.

"Beacon Lights" at tho Opera House, Last
Evoning.
The Opera House should have been
packed last evening, but because there was
a tirst-class drama on the boards the people
would not 90. Those who were fortunate
enough to attend were highly pleased with
'Beacon Lights" and no doubt a large
house will greet it this evening.
Beacon Lights" is a romantic story in
four acts from the pen of De Witt Young,
who, by locating it among the mountains
and other picturesque surroundings OF
Northern Mexico, has taken advantage Of
an atmosphere that did so much to charm
those who saw "My Partner and 1.-THE
Danites" for the first time. The free life
of the mountains, with its few and easily
recognized types, does not afford a great
variety to the dramatitt, but, on the con-
trary, Often subjects him to the sweeping
criticism that all Western plays are alike.
As we'll say that Lake Michigan, with its
moods and humors and ever-varylng phases
is ALWAYS the same. Beacon Lights"
is an unpretentious but clearly told story
of life in a mining camp. Not the rough
and rowdy part of it, with vile rum holes
and painted women as chief accessories,
but au undertone Of pure romance conn.,
posed out of the relations of a friendless
woman and her child with a noble-hcarted
miner who seeks to protect her from GER
tain rascals who, having killed her hus-
band, seek possession of her child in order
to secure a valuable mining claim TO which
he has fallen heir.
George Learock, plays the character Of
the hero in a forcible manner; he is with
out a doubt the best leading man IN Amer
lea. Harold F~orsberg, n of the best
eccentric character actors the American
stage can boast, finds a character to his
taste in Colonel Clay Calhoun, the South
ern gentleman whose chivalrous instinots
are not obscured in the least by frequent
visits to the village grocery" The
character of the heroine is modestly as
sumed by Emma Hinckley, and that Of
Carrie Calhoun, the Colonel's daughter, by
Miss Oracle Emmett, who achieves a de-
cided hit as the sprightly little maid oftbe
mountains. The other characters are all
in competent hands and are played smOoth-
ly and well.

DR.. Myers said there was no desire on

"within the sacred precincts" OF
the city, but he desired and
intended to do his full duty.
He said the city had no powers conferred
upon it to have a Health Officer. 1t had
mowers to have a Board of Health, which
did not exist. In fact, the city had in
force health machinery exactly the reverse
of what was authorized by the charter.
The discussion was continued at con-
siderable length, but no particular good
came Of it, and the county health authori-
ties withdrew.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
A FRIGHT TRsN JUMPS THE TRACK ON
THE PANHANDLE
And brushes Two Dwelling Houses Into Fragments,
Covering the Inmates From Sight Three
Of Whom are Injured.

A railroad accident occurred at Wells
burg, yesterday afternoon, that resulted
in the injury of three persons and quite 8
heavy loss of property. The accident
caused as much excitement for q time, as
the great gas explosion did, and it was st
first supposed to have resulted in . loss Oh
several lives. The mishap was q rather
peculiar one in several respects, and when
the wreck is seen one wonders how the In
iured persons escaped as fortunately as
they did.
Freight train No. II, which was due in
the city about 3 o'clock p. m, was passing
through Wellsburg at a good rate Of speed
and when it reached a point Just below the
Riverside glass works, where the track
men were removing the coal works switch
and putting in new rails, the rails spread
apart and eight ears left the track. Two
of these crushed into the dwelling houses
of Joseph Murphy and John Murphy, MS
married son literally crushing them to
fragments, and filling the air with Tying
splinters, plaster and bricks.
John Murphy, who is employed ON night
turn at Dalzell Bros. & Gilmore's glass
house, was lying asleep in bed, and his
daughter Stella, aged about three years,
was lying by his side. An infant daugh-
ter, aged one year, was asleep in q crib
near by. The upper part OF the building
in which they were, was knocked clear OF
aud the remaining portion crushed Hat.
Mr.. Murphy and the two children were
literally covered with bricks and other
debris, which held them fast.
The people of the town were alarmed by
the ringing of fire bells and soon a crowd
had collected and the work Of Iescne com
menced. Miss Amelia Murphy, o sister Of
| John, was u released from under a iot
of debris, with her face and head badly cut
and bruised. She also complained of her
back being hurt. When Mr.. Murphy wa
dug out he was found to have several cuts
Oh the head, but not serious. Stella, the
Oldest child, was discovered in an uucon'
scIous condition, but no injury Was ap
parent and it il thought she will recoVrr
The other child was uninjuIed, aud ~ Ger
tsinly seems miraculous that all who were
in the houses at the time were not KILLED
instantly for the buildings are c'ushcd into
n mass of rubbish. They were the prop
erty of Mr.. Joseph X. Murphy, and he cai
i'll afford their LOSE.
The train which consisted OfabOut twenty
cars, was in charge of Conductor Marshall,
with Engineer Charley Boyd at tue ihrot
tie. The first eight or ten cMs passed ovel
the track in safely and came on into the
city. The four o'clock passenger train west
left as usual, making a transfer ut the
scene of the wreck, and the train due here
at ! o'clock in the evening did not arrive
until about =. The O'Clock train did moi
go ont at all.
A wrecking train Immediately went 10
the scene from Steubenville, and things
will be in such shape that trains can run a.
usual to- day.

Very PROMPT Work.

The widow of the late DIR. ]. B Reed
yesterday received from Messrs. Sweeney
& Edwards, the agents of the Equitable
Life Insurance Company, of New York,
the sum of s., 200, the amount of a policy
on the life of her husband. Tha policy
wac issued last June, and the Doctor, as
will be remembered, died or the 18th Of
October. Proof Of death was forwarded TO
the Company just a week ago, and the
money was sent on at once, although the
Company car delay payment sixty days il
il so desires. No advantage was taken OF
this provision Of the law, however, as the
check in this case shows. The Company
prides itself upon its prompt payment, and
this is a very desirable feature for its poll
CIV holders.

AN INSURANCE. COMPANY

which Deserves Commentator for Its
Prompt and Thorough Business
Methods.
There is q great deal of competition
going ON between life insurance COM
panies represented in this city, and just
which of them is the best is q hard matter
to be decided by a man who contemplates
taking insurance on his life. Among the
foremost is the Penn Mutual, of Philadel-
phia, for which Major j. NJ. DOddridge is
agent, and as an instance ofthis eompany's
promptness ip paying insurance and its
fair dealings with its policy holders, the
following letter. which is self explanatory,
is published:
WHEELING, Nov. 5th, 1851.
j. ". DOddridge, Agent Of The Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company:
DEAR SIR-When some weeks ago, as
representative of Mrs. Loais Woodmansee,
| handed you the proofs OF death of Louis
WOOdmansee, and requested you to send
them to your Company, / expressed some
doubts whether your Company would pay
the policy in her favor, of five thousand
dollars, without suit, it being, IS You will
recOllect, one of year old forms OF policy,
providing that the policy shoala be void il
the assured should die by his Own hand,
sane n insane. Your answer was, you will
recall, that ali OF the present forms Of pol
icies of the Company onait.ed that provision
! altogether, and that the Company did not
| DO business in that way, and would pay it.
/ had very serious doubts whether your
Company would pay the policy, even after
your assurances, especially, IN sisW of the
fact that the highest court Of this country,
in passing upon 3 policy containing the
very same language, where the assured had
taken his life while insane, had held the
policy to be void. Your Company has,
however, to-day, with q full knowledge Of
the case referred to, and its legal rights
under the terms Of the policy, paid the
same in full. AZ ! believe hat companies
doing business in this manner with its
policy holders deserve the confidence and
patronage of the public, ] write this ietteE
in the hope il may be Of service to you in
effecting other insurance for your Company
in this city and State. / am,
Yours very truly,
WM. H. HEARNE,
Attorney for Mira. Louis Woodmausee.
